Meghan O'Keefe

I live in New York. I am a comedian, writer and actor. My day job is blogging for VH1.com. I write about the silly things celebrities and pop stars do, so you know...God's work.

You may have seen my writing on many other reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum.

Life's weird, right?

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

thegestianpoet: PARTY AT GATSBY’S: HITS FROM THE EARLY 1920S The Great Gatsby is set in the summer of 1922, a year when popular culture was defined by music. I took the liberty of collecting all the songs alluded to in the novel, as well a few hits from that era, into a little collection. Think of it as a soundtrack, of sorts. You might be surprised to find how relatively low-key some of the music is, as well as the notable absence of some Jazz Age hits- remember, 1922 and before only! (I’m a nerd and spent a few hours cross-referencing.) Hope you all like it! DOWNLOAD HERE Tracklist: Sheik of Araby- Harry B.
